Entertaining and factual

If you are new to the Apollo 13 story you will really enjoy this pad cast , especially after watching Ron Howard’s excellent movie. If you are already an Apollo nerd, I also recommend this podcast. Dr Brady has a beautiful narrative style and I’ll guarantee you will still get some extra insights into one of NASA’s greatest successes.
